Re: THERE IS NO 'NEW'
May 12, 2009, 09:54
2/3 good! (altho you shd check florian hecker - there isn't much else like it)
so what i'm trying to say is, those 3 examples came to mind in that what they're doing is pretty fresh + modern + not beholden to the "stick xyz hip influences together + hope the audience are stupid/jaded/unadventurous enough to swallow" schtick that a lot of music (mainstream + otherwise) has fallen into ... i mean, they all have obvious precedents + influences, but they're pushing them + fucking w/ them + doing all that stuff people like Neu! were doing (travelling w/out a map, i guess).

Anyway, my favourite Neu!alike tune this week = "i can't stay long" by Ultravox ... shit, those guys were ahead of the game, ripping off rother + dinger in 1978!
